And now for something topical

Anyone else uneasy with America entering into a 3rd simultaneous war? Yes, Gaddafi should go. Yes, I tentatively support the No Fly Zone. But, its always good to consult history ...
Also, my brother sent me this related link, it describes the blank check the US President has to send troops anywhere he wants, whenever he wants.

Let's review the case:
1) Justification, best-case scenario: remove middle east dictator to usher in democracy friendly to US
2) End point: very unclear
3) Exit strategy: hand over control to loose coalition of various bickering tribes and defected military

Reminds me of something, rhymes with "Attack," has four letters,... hmmm.

Hopefully this war goes much quicker and smoother. But I have a bad feeling about it.

However, I think we can all agree that at least one awesome thing has come from this. That insane rant Gaddafi went on a couple weeks is now a huge Youtube hit, and this version with the go-go dancers is pretty juicy-juice.
